Brexiteer hypocrisy over Bercow ruling...Well they were fine with this last time...

[Soph0571]

Pro-Brexit MPs are all in a tizzy after John Bercow refused the government’s attempt to bring back the meaningful vote on its deal – a mere 48 hours after parliament had declined to give it the approval craved by Downing Street – on the grounds that parliamentary protocol clearly states that the same question cannot be put twice in the same parliamentary session.

Devoted Brexiteers Bill Cash and Peter Bone spoke up against the judgement from the backbenches, while on the frontbench, Jacob Rees-Mogg silently glowered.

But it wasn’t always thus. The ruling was hardly a surprise, as Bercow had made an identical ruling when Theresa May tried to re-run her meaningful vote on 18 March.

Heh. They were all over the speaker in March praising his wise decision making when they were worried the May deal might get through. At this point one has to ask if the right wing element that ravages the conservative party can be curtailed. I can see this potentially going three ways:

1. The party splits with the far right migrating to the Brexit party leaving a nub of centre right as the 2nd or third party in the house
2. The older white right wing men in the local constituencies, that are banging the drum for a no deal brexit will all be dead in a generation as most of them are older than God allowing more moderate voices to come to the forefront.
3. The UKIPers who joined the Conservative Party after the last election and have pushed the local constituencies to the right will bugger off as they only care about brexit and once that is done they will have absolutely no interest in any of the other issues of the day.

I know this. Something has to got to give. These chuntering loons from the ERG who should never have been allowed to escape the back benches have allowed their hypocrisy to reach new heights... they gotta go.

1. Hypocrisy is their calling card. Remember "enemies of the people" for judges who ruled

that parliament should have a say in Brexit? After they campaigned on "take back control"?

If they weren't immersed in hypocrisy, then Led By Donkeys wouldn't have such a vast range to choose from: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/19/led-by-donkeys-interview-there-is-as-political-power-in-laughing
